By BEN LONG ,
THE morning newspapers carried a
story this Wednesday about a
woman in Ohio recovering her
sight after being blind 37 years. She
had some interesting things to say
concerning her new sensation after
being'so long in the dark. The joy of
being able to see has been shadowed
by the painful discovery that most of
the grown-people she meets look
strained, worried and unhappy. Her
perceptions are the reverse of what
she thought they would be.
Children's faces are more charming

Mr. Gooseman's subject was "The
Rich Fool." In part he said:
"In the 12th chapter of Saint Luke's
Gospel, God gives us a picture of a
rich fool. I am glad all wealthy men
are not like this fellow was. It is no
disgrace to be rich, hut when one allows wealth to make a fool of him,

Results of Prohibition
In Twelve Years
By' MRS. HARRY D. WISE
Each year when we meet to celebrate the anniversary of the victory
for prohibition which is constituted in
the 18th Amendment—we pause to
balance our accounts, so to speak—lo
sum up the fruits of our labors and
see if they are good or bad. It is very
proper that we should do this, and so
on this twelfth anniversary let us
take mental stock of the past and look
a bit into the future.
It Is An Old Story

THIS is a better impression of what
has been happening to the world
in the past few years tban we

United States has gone, the America
that seemed so secure and prosperous that we imagined nothing could
ever disturb it. The World War
changed all that.
The United States of today, like
other nations, is not only poorer, but
more nervous, less sure of itself,
afraid of the future, staggering along
under burdens that grow heavier each

Monday night for the reason that the
appropriation ordinance for 1932 (it

The amounts listed will not all be

The total sum appropriated in 19.'lt

THE morning newspapers carried a
story this Wednesday about a
woman in Ohio recovering her
sight after being blind 37 years. She
had some interesting things to say
concerning her new sensation after
being'so long in the dark. The joy of
being able to see has been shadowed
by the painful discovery that most of
the grown-people she meets look
strained, worried and unhappy. Her
perceptions are the reverse of what
she thought they would be.
Children's faces are more charming
than as .pictured in her recollections

Mr. Gooseman's subject was "The

"In the 12th chapter of Saint Luke's
Gospel, God gives us a picture of a
rich fool. I am glad all wealthy men
are not like this fellow was. It is no
disgrace to be rich, hut when one allows wealth to make a fool of him,

Results of Prohibition
In Twelve Years
By' MRS. HARRY D. WISE
Each year when we meet to celebrate the anniversary of the victory
for prohibition which is constituted in
the 18th Amendment—we pause to
balance our accounts, so to speak—lo
sum up the fruits of our labors and
see if they are good or bad. It is very
proper that we should do this, and so
on this twelfth anniversary let us
take mental stock of the past and look
a bit into the future.
It Is An Old Story

THIS is a better impression of what
has been happening to the world
in the past few years tban we
get from any book. The old placid
United States has gone, the America
that seemed so secure and prosperous that we imagined nothing could
ever disturb it. The World War
changed all that.
The United States of today, like
other nations, is not only poorer, but
more nervous, less sure of itself,
afraid of the future, staggering along
under burdens that grow heavier each
succeeding year.

Meeting On Monday Night
Come to the regular meeting next
Monday, Jan. 18, at 8 o'clock.
National Contest
The membership contest of the
American Legion between past commanders is on in full swing. One
week is to be devoted to honoring
each post commander, last week being in honor of "Dyke" O'Neil, national commander during 1931.
One by one, as the weeks progress, j chief,
the Past National Commanders are
of enlisting members.
Any Past Commander who has not
been contacted personally should consider this notice sufficient to bring-
forth into active participation all the
loyalty once shown this former national leader of the legion. One member each, enrolled in honor of '''Bodie"
by every Past Post Commander and
every Past Post Vice-Commander of
the administration concerned, will be
a distinct mark of honor to the past
contacting their Past National Vice
Commanders, their Past Department
Comamnders, and they, in turn, are
issuing calls to their Past Commanders and Past Vice-Commanders by districts and posts.
Theoretically, there are more than
20,000 Past Comamnders and Vice-
Commanders to contact by each Past
National Commander and Past Department Commanders.
